I did enjoy Crash a fair bit. A lot of people I know didn't like how it made them feel. My mother said I'd like the movie but it made her uncomfortable, her late fiance was upset by the over the top portrayal of racism -- racism, he thought, was more underhanded and less obvious, in his experience. Ivy thought I should see it because I am white and don't "get" racism.
I am just now having this conversation via IM with kat_yrn and she agrees with me -- I say it was heavy handed and even a bit forced, but it needed to be in order to make its point. If it skirted the issue of racism, and, according to mom's late fiance, as insidious as he experienced in daily life.
